I need to have arguments to the functions used in the events object in Backbone.
var DocumentRow = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: "li",
className: "document-row",
events: {
"click .icon": "open",
"click .button.edit": "openEditDialog",
"click .button.delete": "destroy"
},
render: function () {
// do something
}
});
Now let the definition of open be:
function open(id) {
if (id) {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
}
I will call open from another function and will pass id when I call it. So based on whether I pass id or not I need to do different things. How do I do this in Backbone? Currently, id when called via click I expect it to be undefined. But an event object is passed.
Why does this happend and how can I pass an argument?
